  • Our take on the FiiO DM15 R2R Portable Hi-Fi CD Player

    The FiiO DM15 R2R is a portable CD player built around FiiO's own resistor-ladder R2R DAC, which gives discs a warmer, more textured tone than the delta-sigma chips in most players. It runs on an internal high-voltage lithium battery and offers both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs, plus USB DAC, Bluetooth transmit and optical/coaxial digital output. In desktop mode it pushes up to 1150mW per channel, enough for demanding headphones. It suits listeners who still buy CDs and want a transportable, modern-featured player rather than a vintage deck, though it is a niche, premium device compared with basic portable CD players.

    About the FiiO DM15 R2R Portable Hi-Fi CD Player

    The FiiO DM15 R2R is a portable CD player with a FiiO-developed R2R DAC. The DAC uses a resistor ladder to convert digital data into analog waveforms. It runs on a built-in lithium battery, so it doesn't need a wall outlet.

    It has single-ended and fully balanced outputs, and it works in several modes: CD play, USB DAC, Bluetooth transmit, optical out and coaxial out. In Bluetooth transmit mode it sends audio to wireless headphones or speakers using the SBC, aptX, aptX-HD, aptX-LL and aptX-Adaptive codecs.

    An ESP anti-vibration switch stabilizes playback when the player moves, which reduces the chance of skipping while walking or carrying it. You can leave the switch on or off once the player is set down. Measured noise and distortion are low, with THD+N under 0.030% at 1kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 112dB.

    Questions and answers

    What makes the R2R DAC different?
    It uses a resistor ladder instead of a delta-sigma chip, which FiiO tunes for a warmer, more textured sound. Some listeners prefer that tone; others want the cleaner, more analytical sound of conventional DACs.
    Can it drive demanding headphones?
    In desktop mode it delivers up to 1150mW per channel through the balanced 4.4mm output, which covers most full-size headphones. High-impedance models may still benefit from a dedicated amp.
    Does it work as a USB DAC?
    Yes. It supports USB DAC mode, so you can feed computer audio through its DAC and headphone outputs. It also has optical and coaxial digital outputs for use with external DACs.
    Can I send CD audio to wireless headphones?
    Yes. Bluetooth transmit mode supports aptX, aptX-HD, aptX-LL and aptX-Adaptive, so you can pair wireless headphones or speakers. Wired balanced output remains the highest-quality path.
    Is it portable enough for travel?
    It has a compact footprint and an internal battery, so it works away from a wall outlet. It is still a full-size CD player, so expect to carry it in a bag rather than a pocket.
    What is in the box?
    The player, a battery, and the usual accessories for charging and connection. Check the listing for the exact cable and adapter set included.
